ELinder Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 I just opened a legacy document from Designer version 1 in V2.5.5 Mac. I am seeing a lot of orange dotted lines in the layer panel on some groups, curves, and even background images. When I mouse hover over any of them I see the screenshot about “Unlinked Attributes”. What is this? Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Those items with the orange lines (broken or not) would be Symbols. When you have unsynchronized some aspects of the Symbols the lines are broken like that, and the tooltip tells you which attributes/aspects of the Symbols are no longer synchronized. This is standard Symbols processing. https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/SymbolsAssets/symbols.html Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

ELinder Posted November 2, 2024 Author Posted November 2, 2024 This has nothing to do with symbols. I see it on group names, individual curves, and even imported background jpg images. Unfortunately I can’t share the file. Saving the file in V2 and reopening it still has all those notations. Quote
carl123 Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Do you still have V1? If so, if you hover over one of the orange affected layers do you see the same unlinked attributes?

ELinder Posted November 2, 2024 Author Posted November 2, 2024 Yes, I just reinstalled V1. It appears that file is just corrupted somehow. The previous saved version is fine in both old and new versions. Save often, save incremental, saves the day. :) Quote
